@railLKB @s8mb That's the one. Couldn't think of the right keywords to find it again.

@derJamesJackson it always felt to me like a slightly less-good knock-off of the british intercity design

@aledeniz No, but my assumption would be that if you've bought one then that (small) investment tends to make you more inclined to think of using the railway rather than other modes of transport.

@geynosha I have the same problem in Germany – parcel deliveries that require a German number, postal (DHL) apps that require a German app store account, customer service numbers that you can't call from an international phone

@derJamesJackson is this a student initiative? is it binding for the university administration?

[Mark Porter @mrmarkporter]

@ChimeWhistle Depends on the passengers surely? As a foreign tourist, I’d probably appreciate being reassured that I’m going to London

@derJamesJackson I wish the moderator would acknowledge the mood in the room and direct it to Merz as a challenge rather than just telling everyone to sit down and behave
